The date of the incident listed in scared ll's reply was incorrect. The actual date of the original three incidents was in fact 11/4/99.
The subsequent media coverage with statements from hospital administrators occured on 11/5/99 with additional screenings on 11/6/99.
State inspector(s) were informed that there were ten to twelve security personnel on duty. Actual security personnel on duty totaled eight. Due to recent budget cuts, twenty seven uniformed officers were placed on indefinite layoff, as a result, unskilled maintenance personnel were utilized in the search for the alleged suspect.
Staffing was slight at best allowing for very limited initial response while the second and third assaults were made. In addition, communication errors delayed additional response.
One month has passed since the cutbacks were initiated. |

I was a student nurse taking care of one of those patients during that incident. I was discusted by the way they treated the victim as if she was lying until a third was molested and they realized what was going on. The nurses and staff were rude as they usually are to their low income patients.........I chose to work somewhere else. The hospital is full of miseralbe lifers attatched to their benefit packages.
